Hi, I've read the long thread about this topic found at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405762
It seems the only thing that stops the millions of Debian and Ubuntu users from benefiting out of the box Maildir support(and dropping pine for good and use alpine instead) is your hesitation in deciding for a license for this patch. Please, since you are the copyright owner, just decide for something so that the millions of Debian and Ubuntu users can benefit from your work. Why is it so difficult? The BSD or MIT licenses can be a good start, they just formally say what you vaguely said in that thread. - you'd own the copyright and all the rights as an author - the redistributions should contain the license text unaltered or mention that you wrote the patch - you disclaim any damage the software could do to ts users Nothing more, nothing less. Even a beer-ware license would be better than nothing! Please just decide for something for your users' sake! Thanks and best regards, Cristi Magherusan A happy (Maildir-patched) alpine user -- Cristi Măgherușan, System/Network Engineer Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania http://cc.utcluj.ro +40264 401247
